可万兽若想报复,不应该这样藏着掖着,那么这位姓胡的元婴修士,应该与万兽岛没有瓜葛。
Huang Hu, the Core Spirit cultivator, should not have any connection with the Beast Island if he wanted to retaliate.
jiū jìng shì shuí duì zì jǐ gǎn xìng qù ne ?
究竟是谁对自己感兴趣呢?
Who exactly was showing interest in him?
lín xuān bǎi sī bù dé qí jiě , rén lì bì jìng yǒu shí ér qióng , zhì zhě qiān lǜ , bì yǒu yī shī , lín xuān jiù suàn zài yǒu jí zhì , yě bù kě néng zuò dào miàn miàn jù dào zhè zhǒng shì 。
林轩百思不得其解,人力毕竟有时而穷,智者千虑,必有一失,林轩就算再有急智,也不可能做到面面俱到这种事。
Lin Xuan pondered this question but could find no answers. After all, human wisdom has its limits; even a wise person may make mistakes. Lin Xuan might be quick-witted, but it was impossible for him to cover every detail.
zǐ xì sī suǒ , què bàn diǎn tóu xù yě wú , qí shí zài dòng fǔ de shí hòu , tā jiù xiǎng guò jiāng zhè wèi bù sù zhī kè chōu hún liàn pò , zhǐ yào shī zhǎn sōu hún zhī shù , yī qiè mì mì jiù quán dōu qīng chǔ , bù yòng zài zhè lǐ shǎ shǎ de míng sī kǔ xiǎng le 。
仔细思索,却半点头绪也无,其实在洞府的时候,他就想过将这位不速之客抽魂炼魄,只要施展搜魂之术,一切秘密就全都清楚,不用在这里傻傻的冥思苦想了。
After careful consideration, he still came up empty-handed. In fact, when he was in the cavegovernment office or hall, he had considered using Soul Extraction Techniques on this unexpected guest. If he could perform a Soul Scouring Technique, all secrets would be revealed, and he wouldn't have to waste time thinking about it.
rán ér zhè yàng zuò suī rán jiǎn dān , què yě róng yì dǎ cǎo jīng shé , gù ér quán héng yī fān lì bì zhī hòu , lín xuān hái shì rěn zhù le yòu huò ……
然而这样做虽然简单,却也容易打草惊蛇,故而权衡一番利弊之后,林轩还是忍住了诱惑……
However, while simple, such an approach might alert his opponent. After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xuan decided against it...
yáo le yáo tóu , jì rán xiǎng bù tōng , nà jiù zàn shí bié xiǎng le 。
摇了摇头,既然想不通,那就暂时别想了。
Shaking his head, since he couldn’t figure it out, he decided not to dwell on it further.
bīng lái jiāng dǎng , shuǐ lái tǔ yǎn , yǐ zì jǐ de shí lì , qí shí yě bù yòng pà bié rén diàn jì , guǎn tā yǒu shén me yīn móu guǐ jì , zì jǐ zài zhè lǐ jiē zhāo jiù shì 。
兵来将挡,水来土掩,以自己的实力,其实也不用怕别人惦记,管他有什么阴谋诡计,自己在这里接招就是。
He would deal with whatever came his way. With his strength, there was no need for him to worry about others plotting against him. He could handle any tricks or schemes that came his way.
niàn jí zhì cǐ , lín jǐng yě fàng xià le xīn shì , chóng xīn huí dào le dòng fǔ lǐ 。
念及至此,林井也放下了心事,重新回到了洞府里。
With this thought, Lin Xuan put aside his worries and returned to the cavegovernment office or hall.
suī rán yī yè méi yǒu xiū xī , dàn yǐ tā de shí lì , zì rán sī háo yě bú huì gǎn dào pí láo dì 。
虽然一夜没有休息,但以他的实力,自然丝毫也不会感到疲劳地。
Despite not getting much rest, he felt no fatigue due to his powerful body.
cǐ shí cǐ kè , lín xuān shǒu zhōng ná zhe yī kuài yù fú , xíng zhuàng qí tè , kàn shàng qù yǔ fú chén chà bu duō , bù yòng fǎ lì qū shǐ , biǎo miàn de guāng yùn yě hū qiáng hū ruò , bù tíng tūn tǔ 。
此时此刻,林轩手中拿着一块玉符,形状奇特,看上去与拂尘差不多,不用法力驱使,表面的光韵也忽强忽弱,不停吞吐。
At this moment, Lin Xuan held a Core Spirit named Hu Song in high regard as he visited him several times. Despite his warm demeanor, there was an underlying probing nature to his visits.
bǎi shòu zhī fú !
百兽之符!
Unable to discern his opponent's intentions, Lin Xuan chose not to alert them by acting suspiciously. He pretended to be unaware and played along, finding such matters trivial for himself.
zhè dōng xī dé zì wàn shòu dǎo shǎo zhǔ 。
这东西得自万兽岛少主。
Three months seemed long to a mortal but merely a blink of an eye to a cultivator. Even though he was practicing in seclusion and the local spirit veins were good, Lin Xuan made little progress.
yǔ rén jiè de shòu hún zhī fú pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù , dàn hái yào xuán ào dé duō , lín xuān zài shǒu lǐ xì xì bǎ wán zhe 。
与人界的兽魂之符颇有几分相似之处,但还要玄奥得多,林轩在手里细细把玩着。
The main issue was that he had yet to find suitable medicinal pills for his current stage of cultivation. Despite having cultivated with Moon Clan's spirit medicines, his talent was merely average.
yī rì yī yè zhī hòu , lín xuān chū le liàn gōng fáng , móu dǐ shēn chù , dài zhe jǐ fēn pí juàn zhī sè , dàn xīng è fèn zhī yì què bàn sī yě wú 。
一日一夜之后,林轩出了练功房,眸底深处,带着几分疲倦之色,但兴堊奋之意却半丝也无。
He decided it was time to visit the market again.
píng xīn lái shuō , shǒu zhōng zhè jiàn bǎo wù , jiù yuán lǐ yǔ pǐn zhì lái shuō ” què shí yào yuǎn yuǎn de shèng guò rén jiè de shòu hún zhī fú 。
平心来说,手中这件宝物,就原理与品质来说”确实要远远的胜过人界的兽魂之符。
Just as he was considering this, the deadline for his appointment with the Treasure Pavilion approached.
dàn yě jué méi yǒu nà xiē wéi guān de xiū xiān zhě suǒ shuō de nà yàng xuán miào de 。
但也绝没有那些围观的修仙者所说的那样玄妙的。
Eastern Mingyu had said that she would send the Black Gold Dragon Shield to the main store for repairs. It took exactly three months for such a journey.
lǐ miàn néng zhuāng xià bǎi zhǐ shòu hún bù jiǎ , dàn duì shòu hún de děng jí ” què shì yǒu yán gé xiàn zhì 。
里面能装下百只兽魂不假,但对兽魂的等级”却是有严格限制。
With his decision made, Lin Xuan activated the nearby restrictions and flew eastward, still concealing himself as an early-stage Core Spirit cultivator.
huà xíng qī de shòu hún zuì duō zhuāng xià shí zhǐ , qí yú de shòu hún , shí lì zhǐ néng yǔ níng dān qī xiū shì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
化形期的兽魂最多装下十只,其余的兽魂,实力只能与凝丹期修士相差仿佛。
The grand city came into view in no time. He was close enough to the sky restriction that he landed his Rainbow Sword. Unlike before, there were no ancient warships in sight; instead, many cultivators passed by.
zhè yàng de dōng xī , duì yuán yīng qī xiū shì lái shuō , huò xǔ hái bù shī yú yī jiàn wēi lì qiáng dà de yì bǎo ” dàn luò zài lín xuān de shǒu lǐ , zé míng xiǎn jī lèi le xiē 。
这样的东西,对元婴期修士来说,或许还不失于一件威力强大的异宝”但落在林轩的手里,则明显鸡肋了些。
As a Core Spirit cultivator, Lin Xuan didn't face any trouble as he entered the city. Although it was his first visit, he knew his way around the coastal city and headed straight to the western market district.
tàn le kǒu qì , dàn lín xuān yě méi yǒu rú hé de zài yì 。
叹了口气,但林轩也没有如何的在意。
His target was the Treasure Pavilion.
zhè cì fāng shì zhī lǚ , shōu huò yǐ jīng gòu fēng fù , rén yào zhī zú , dé dào yī jiàn jī lèi bǎo wù yě méi yǒu shén me hǎo bào yuàn de 。
这次坊市之旅,收获已经够丰富,人要知足,得到一件鸡肋宝物也没有什么好抱怨的。
The scene remained unchanged from three months ago, even better than before.
jiē xià lái de shí jiān , lín xuān kāi shǐ bì guān xiū liàn 。
接下来的时间,林轩开始闭关修炼。
Lin Xuan couldn’t help but feel surprised. The image of him beating up the Beast Island’s young master was still fresh in everyone's minds, yet he hadn't faced any repercussions. This made sense since his movements were secretive and unknown to the other party.
dāng rán , zhè lǐ shuō de bì guān ” bìng bú shì zhǐ shēng sǐ guān , bù néng bèi wài mó dǎ rǎo de nà zhǒng 。
当然,这里说的闭关”并不是指生死关,不能被外魔打扰的那种。
The Beast Master Lin Xuan had never met, but he heard that the man was extremely brutal and protective. It was surprising that such a small shop wasn’t used as a target for revenge.
jǐn jǐn shì dài zài zì jǐ de dòng fǔ , měi tiān yòng xīn dǎ zuò , bì mén bù chū 。
仅仅是待在自己的洞府,每天用心打坐,闭门不出。
Lin Xuan didn’t believe it was due to the city’s protection; if the Red Leaf Fairy had such influence, she would have noticed the movements of even a patrol cultivator.
shí guāng rú shuǐ , sān gè yuè de shí jiān yī huǎng ér guò 。
时光如水,三个月的时间一晃而过。
This shop must be hiding something significant, Lin Xuan thought.
hóng yè hǎi yù àn cháo xiōng yǒng , dàn biǎo miàn shàng , què yī jiù shì píng jìng wú bō 。
红叶海域暗潮汹涌,但表面上,却依旧是平静无波。
His mind racing, he entered the mysterious store without showing any signs of surprise.
yě bù zhī dào nà wèi wàn shòu dǎo shǎo zhǔ shì méi yǒu chá dào lín xuān de shēn fèn , hái shì bié de yuán yīn shén me ” shàng cì de zhàng yì chū shǒu , bìng méi yǒu dài lái hòu xù fēng bō , jiù fǎng fú shén me yě bù céng fā shēng guò 。
也不知道那位万兽岛少主是没有查到林轩的身份,还是别的原因什么”上次的仗义出手,并没有带来后续风波,就仿佛什么也不曾发生过。
The traces of the fight were long gone, and new counters replaced those that had been damaged.
dāng rán , zhè yàng de shì qíng lín xuān shì lè jiàn qí chéng de , tā suī rán bù jù nà jǐng me láo shí zi de wàn shòu zūn zhě , dàn duō yī shì , bù rú shǎo yī shì ” méi yǒu hǎo chù , lín xuān yě bù xiǎng xī lǐ hú tú de jié chóu 。
当然,这样的事情林轩是乐见其成的,他虽然不惧那井么劳什子的万兽尊者,但多一事,不如少一事”没有好处,林轩也不想稀里糊涂的结仇。
A young man in green clothes greeted him with a smile, along with some pretty maids who were bustling about to serve customers. Business was good, so they earned commissions.
dǎo shì zhè xiē shí rì , nà míng jiào hú sōng de yuán yīng xiū shì , yòu yī lián lái bài fǎng le shù cì , rè qíng wàn fēn de yàng zi 。
倒是这些时日,那名叫胡嵩的元婴修士,又一连来拜访了数次,热情万分的样子。
Although three months had passed since the incident, Lin Xuan’s heroic image remained vivid in everyone's minds. He was recognized almost immediately upon entering the store by several people.
dàn yǒu yì wú yì ” zǒng tòu zhe yī xiē shì tàn zhī yì 。
但有意无意”总透着一些试探之意。
"Ah! It's that senior!" a woman exclaimed softly.
mō bù qīng duì fāng de mén lù , lín xuān yě bù xiǎng dǎ cǎo jīng shé , yú shì gù zuò bù zhī ” yǔ duì fāng xū yǔ wēi yí , fǎn zhèng zhè xiē shì qíng duì tā lái shuō ” zhe shí méi yǒu shén me míng xiǎn de nán dù 。
摸不清对方的门路,林轩也不想打草惊蛇,于是故作不知”与对方虚与委蛇,反正这些事情对他来说”着实没有什么明显的难度。
"Who?" A scholar-like man nearby looked surprised. As a Condensation Core cultivator himself, an early-stage Core Spirit was not beyond his reach; there were many such figures in this coastal city.
sān gè yuè de shí jiān , duì fán rén lái shuō , huò xǔ bù suàn tài duǎn , dàn jiù xiū xiān zhě , què shì dàn zhǐ yī huī jiān , suī rán bì mén xiū liàn , ér qiě zhè lǐ de líng mài yě bù cuò , dàn lín xuān què bìng méi yǒu duō dà de jìn zhǎn 。
三个月的时间,对凡人来说,或许不算太短,但就修仙者,却是弹指一挥间,虽然闭门修炼,而且这里的灵脉也不错,但林轩却并没有多大的进展。
But it was just an early-stage Core Spirit, so his junior sister needn’t be so alarmed.
guī gēn jié dǐ , shì méi yǒu xún dào hé shì de , shì hé lí hé qī jìng jiè de dān yào yòng lái tūn fú , bì jìng zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ qīng chǔ , suī rán zài xià jiè de shí hòu , yòng mò yuè zú de líng yào cuì liàn chū le líng gēn , dàn zī zhì yě bù guò mǎ mǎ hǔ hǔ , shèn zhì tán bù shàng fēn háo chū zhòng 。
归根结底,是没有寻到合适的,适合离合期境界的丹药用来吞服,毕竟自己的情况自己清楚,虽然在下界的时候,用墨月族的灵药淬炼出了灵根,但资质也不过马马虎虎,甚至谈不上分毫出众。
"Senior Brother, you don't know. This senior is no ordinary cultivator. The other day, he bravely intervened and severely beat up that Beast Island’s young master."
zhī suǒ yǐ xiū liàn xùn sù , kào de shì jiāng líng yào dāng táng wán yì bān de tūn fú 。
之所以修炼迅速,靠的是将灵药当糖丸一般的吞服。
"What?" The scholar's face showed surprise as well. The news of the young master being beaten was already widespread across the sea.
kàn lái dé chóng xīn zài qù yī tàng fāng shì le 。
看来得重新再去一趟坊市了。
Many secretly rejoiced at his misfortune. The scholar was lucky to have such a view today, looking at Lin Xuan with admiration. After all, everyone knew about the Beast Master’s reputation; this senior had guts.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou shǎn guò , zhèng qiǎo yǔ bǎi bǎo gé de yuē dìng zhī qī yě kuài dào le 。
脑海中念头闪过,正巧与百宝阁的约定之期也快到了。
Similar whispers filled the air. Lin Xuan's spiritual sense far surpassed that of other Core Spirit cultivators, so he heard every word clearly—whether spoken softly or through mental transmission.
dāng shí dōng fāng míng yù céng shuō , huì jiāng wū jīn lóng jiǎ dùn sòng dào zǒng diàn xiū fù , lái huí zhèng hǎo xū yào sān gè yuè de 。
当时东方明玉曾说,会将乌金龙甲盾送到总店修复,来回正好需要三个月的。
He was surprised by his sudden fame from a simple act of righteousness. It seemed the young master of Beast Island truly deserved such public hatred.
jué dìng jì rán zuò xià lái le , lín xuān yě jiù bù zài dān gē , jiāng dòng fǔ fù jìn de jìn zhì kāi qǐ , suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ , xiàng zhe dōng nán miàn fēi lüè ér qù 。
决定既然做下来了,林轩也就不再耽搁,将洞府附近的禁制开启,随后浑身青芒一起,像着东南面飞掠而去。
Lin Xuan didn’t care about the gossip of low-ranking cultivators. Two beautiful maids led him to a seat, and Eastern Mingyu soon appeared with a warm smile.
dāng rán , yī jiù shī zhǎn liǎn qì zhī shù , jiāng zì jǐ bàn chéng yī yuán yīng chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
当然,依旧施展敛气之术,将自己扮成一元婴初期的修仙者。
After months apart, she looked as graceful as ever in her white dress, exuding an ethereal beauty.
zhè yī huí shú mén shú lù , bú dào bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu , nà guī mó jù dà de xióng chéng , jiù zài cì yìng rù yǎn lián le 。
这一回熟门熟路,不到半盏茶的功夫,那规模巨大的雄城,就再次映入眼帘了。
Her words reminded Lin Xuan of his two missing wives—Qin Xin was nowhere to be found, and he wondered where she was and if the poison had been completely removed. Worrying about it wouldn’t help; he needed to focus on enhancing his strength.
jù lí jìn kōng jìn zhì de fàn wéi yǐ jīng bù yuǎn , lín xuān là xià jīng hóng , zhè yī cì kě méi yǒu kàn jiàn shàng gǔ zhàn chuán shén me , lái lái wǎng wǎng de xiū xiān zhě hěn duō 。
距离禁空禁制的范围已经不远,林轩落下惊虹,这一次可没有看见上古战船什么,来来往往的修仙者很多。
Moon'er, who had always been by his side since their journey into cultivation, might struggle in this cutthroat world. With her current stage of cultivation and some decent treasures, Lin Xuan wondered if she could thrive here.
yuán yīng qī , yǐ jīng pǒ yǐn rén zhù yì , lín xuān méi yǒu shòu dào shén me diāo nàn , jiù shùn lì jìn rù le chéng lǐ 。
元婴期,已经颇引人注意,林轩没有受到什么刁难,就顺利进入了城里。
Shaking his head, Lin Xuan knew worrying wouldn’t solve anything. His immediate goal was to strengthen himself; only with power could he protect his loved ones and increase the chances of reuniting with them.
tā rú jīn suī shì chū dào guì dì , dàn lín hǎi chéng hǎo dǎi yě lái le shù cì , zì rán bú huì mí lù , zhí bēn chéng xī fāng shì ér qù le 。
他如今虽是初到贵地,但临海城好歹也来了数次,自然不会迷路,直奔城西坊市而去了。
Looking at Eastern Mingyu, various thoughts swirled in Lin Xuan’s mind as he maintained a calm expression.
méi yǒu dān gē , lín xuān de mù biāo jiù shì bǎi bǎo gé 。
没有耽搁,林轩的目标就是百宝阁。
In front of others, he would never show weakness; only strength could deter schemers.
jǐng wù yī jiù , yǔ sān gè yuè qián méi yǒu fēn háo bù tóng 。
景物依旧,与三个月前没有分毫不同。
Eastern Mingyu was clever but still somewhat immature compared to him. She didn’t notice anything amiss and greeted him with a cheerful smile: "Senior, you are indeed a man of your word. You came back just as the three months were up."
shēng yì yǔ shàng cì xiāng bǐ , shèn zhì hái yào hǎo yī xiē 。
生意与上次相比,甚至还要好一些。
PS: The first update for tonight is here. I promised an explosion in content; I will keep my promise. Don't forget to vote for recommendations before midnight!
Huang Hu, the Core Spirit cultivator, should not have any connection with the Beast Island if he wanted to retaliate.
